It was with this act of sacrifice that Primus hoped to contain the evil force forever. However, Unicron's body was inactive, badly damaged from his previous battle, and ten years after Galvatron's sacrifice a former victim of Unicron chose to strike. These Transformers were forced to fight inside Unicron, where he feasted on both the excess Energon they gave off and the Sparks of the losers. The Decepticon tactician Thrust wasn't initially aligned with Unicron. One Shall Rise, Part 1. With Unicron gone for now, Primus entered an eons-long slumber, preventing Unicron from detecting him through the mental link the brothers shared. (Note: However, the eyes could be only small components for his Optic Sensors to be reformed and/ or completed.) RELATED:Transformers: Every Time Megatron Became Galvatron. Eventually Primus took a stand against Unicron but the two brothers found themselves evenly matched in a perfect stalemate. It was with this telling that we learned that Unicron predated thecurrent universe, and had destroyed the previous universe which existed before the current one. It was the back story printed on Unicron's card which introduced the concept of the two being brothers created to explore the new universe by an extra dimensional entity, here named the "Allspark.". Eventually, Megatron disappeared through the Autobot GroundBridge. Admittedly, Unicron has been rumored for about the last two or three Transformers movies, but since The Last Knight has the most compelling evidence of his inclusion, there's some Unicron Facts You Need to Know before checking out the film. One Shall Rise, Part 2 As they moved through the interior of the deity, the Autobots and Megatron were attacked by a swarm of flying drones, Unicron's antibodies. Knock Out and Airachnid were less than convinced, but kept that fact to themselves. The second time the story was told was in the US book by the Keeper, an ancient mechanoid who guarded Primus' head at the center of Cybertron. The brothers Primus/Unicron backstory has evolved and been rewritten a number of times since it first originated in theMarvel Comicsseries. And thus were born the Transformers. When Death's Head fought back against Unicron's mental control, however, Unicron rewarded his temerity by revealing the comic book version of his origin. Before the two sides could annihilate each other, an agreement was reached favouring both parties. Writer Chris Sarracini has indicated that he would have followed through on the Unicron storyline, and also would have had the Dreamwave version of Cyclonus rescue Scourge from US government study. There were two early attempts to produce Unicron toys for theTransformerstoyline, featuring voice clips from Welles himself, but the results never made it to production.

Though never appearing in the series proper, Thunderwing did appear as the final boss of theTransformers: Prime spin-off video game. Who is Optimus Primal? While Unicron did not appears in theTransformersfilm series, he still appeared in the comics. Prophesies foretold that should a certain planetary alignment occur, gravitational forces would wake Unicron from his slumber. Unicron's head was seen one last time as Primacron's new creation had crippled Cybertron. Shockwave's followers thus turned on him in favor of aligning with Unicron. I seem to recall originally Unicron was created as part of the big bang. Over time he pretty much destroyed all of the known universe. Once finishe Attempting to open the Matrix to intimidate Unicron, Galvatron only prompted his transformation into robot mode, and was swallowed by the planet-eater. Writer Simon Furman incorporated the various aspects of the Dreamwave comics story, some elements of the Fleer storyline and his original Marvel Comics origin to create what is now essentially the "definitive" origin for Unicron. InTransformers: Armada, the enigmatic Sideways initially joined the Autobots,but betrayed them in his second appearance, claiming to have been a Decepticon all along. Both brothers were multiversal singularities, unique in all realities, but where as Unicron could only exist in one universe at a time, moving between them at will, Primus existed simultaneously in all realities at once. He had slept peacefully, alone in the void of uncreation that remained, until fragments of the old universe that he had overlooked reacted, causing the Big Bang and birthing the current universe. The following piece contains spoilers for Transformers: The Last Knight. Scourgelocated it, but was shot in the back and deactivated by Shockwave, who used analysis of his body to create theTriple Changers. Primus went on to become the planet Cybertron, and grew new life in the form of Transformers; Unicron eventually learned to transform his planet form into a giant robot form using the energy from consumed planets, and went on to become the scourge of the multiverse. Though the Autobots come to Optimus Prime's aid, Megatron doesn't want anyone else to kill Optimus Prime and sides with them as he guides them to the Earth's core to stop Unicron before he completely awakens and destroys Earth. In the UK comics' version of post-movie events, Unicron's head did not enter Cybertron's orbit, and instead crash-landed on thePlanet of Junk. WebUnicron quickly reformatted his body into a transforming one, while Primus countered by creating the original 13. The Chaos Bringer offered Megatron a new body in exchange for servitude faced with no other choice, Megatron agreed and was remade as Galvatron. The treacherous Predacon science officer in Beast Wars, Tarantulas origin remained nebulous. After a brief fight, Unicron prevailed and learned of the existence of a burial ground of Predacon remains. Before the Primus/Unicron mythos reached its present form it went through several distinct versions in the Marvel Generation 1 comics and elsewhere. However, the Mini-Cons turned against their creator thanks to their connections with the Autobots humans' friends (Rad, Alexis, and Carlos). With Cybertron and Unicron gone, the reign of Shockwave would begin. Within Unicron's shell, the Spark ofAlpha Q, ruler of Planet Q, which Unicron had consumed in the past, still existed, and from Unicron's body he created theTerrorconsto gather Energon, which he would use to regenerate all the worlds Unicron had devoured. One ofOptimus Prime's visions of the future showed Mindbender and Unicron as a coming threat - a prophecy that came to pass in the fourth crossover "Black Horizon". Unicron's body was destroyed - but unbeknownst to anyone, he lived on in two forms: his minuscule Spark, and his consciousness, which lay buried in Megatron's mind. The MCUs tiniest heroes are kicking off its biggest phase yet, setting up the next several years of storytelling. Primus, fearing that to follow suit by forming himself in a similar manner would simply pick up the conflict where it had left off, sought an alternative way to defend the universe against the threat of Unicron by turning his asteroid intoCybertron; a planet that he populated with robotic beings that, like Unicron, could alter their forms. To fight Unicron's unprecedented might, Primus created "the Thirteen," a group of transforming robots that predated the Transformers and served as protectors of the light. Also he had no energy weapons besides his eye beams and mouth fire, Primus was built like a tank with both his cyber key hand cannons, dual shoulder cannons, Leg missiles, and moon chucks. Thus, Megatron becameGalvatron, and began to carry out his assigned task, although he was loath to do so. This is the reason for the "errors" in the Cybertron animated series, as it is following a constantly reshaping universe. A collection of Furman's favorite Decepticons, the Heralds of Unicron wereG1Galvatron, Scourge, Bludgeon, Thunderwing, and Dirge, all culled from universes Unicron had previously devoured. Welcome to Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki. The Autobots and Decepticons were able to destroy Unicron, but Cybertron was left in its transformed state and seemingly in the Sol system, as well as continuing to be dead and powerless. The One was curious about this new realm and created a new being, Unicron, to explore it. However, when attacking the seemingly primitive and defenseless Earth, Unicron ran into trouble. Seeking to complete his resurrection, he created theBlendtronsto gather the Angolmois Capsules his life-energy was now sealed in, and then proceeded to possess the lifeless body of Galvatron as a temporary host. Starscream (inhabiting and controllingScourge's body) gathered for UnicronMetroplex's eyes (breaking one and replacing it with one fromTrypticon) and Trypticon's transformation cog, and then began connecting his head to Cybertron, which would become Unicron's new body. While he cheated death twice, hewas vanquished for good by a combined blast from Optimus and Megatron. That version of Unicron is the one mainstream fans are most familiar with, voiced by acting icon, Orson Welles. At the culmination of his plan, the Decepticons came into possession of all three Mini-Con weapons - the Star Saber, the Skyboom Shield and the Requiem Blaster - which Sideways and Thrust then stole and used to reactivate Unicron. In contrast to his major roles in the Marvel comics, the cancellation of theDreamwaveTransformers comics meant that Unicron would play a much lesser role in events. Unicron again appeared as a character in theTransformers: Universecomics by 3H Enterprises, seemingly the same Unicron as seen in Armada. Having been defeated by the Autobot warriorOmega Supremeat some time in the ancient past of Cybertron, Unicron hid himself in plain sight of the Transformers, disguised as the planet's moon. Created byFloro Dery, he was introduced in the 1986 animated filmThe Transformers: The Movie[4]and appeared inAtari's 2003Transformers video game. The cast of Transformers: The Last Knight features Mark Wahlberg (Planet of the Apes) as Cade Yeager, Isabela Moner (100 Things To Do Before High School) as Izabella, Josh Duhamel (Life as We Know It) as Lieutenant Colonel William Lennox, John Turturro (The Big Lebowski) as Seymour Simmons, and Tyrese Gibson (Furious 7) as Robert Epps, as well as Jerrod Carmichael (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), Anthony Hopkins (Thor: The Dark World). While they attacked Earth, a rich source of Energon, Unicron sent his four Horsemen -Rhinox,Airazor,TerrorsaurandCheetor, absorbed by Unicron in the previous battle - against Cybertron, devastating much of it before being stopped by Optimus Prime. His body in this universe obliterated, Unicron moved on to another dimension, to ravage other worlds, and make further attempts on Cybertrons throughout the multiverse. However, the Japanese equivalent,Galaxy Force, made several scattered references to Unicron, as the Japanese producers for the series decided not to haveGalaxy Forcefollow on from the events ofMicron Legend(the Japanese equivalent ofArmada) andSuper Link(the Japanese equivalent ofEnergon). Reconstructing and reviving Megatron, Unicron took possession of his body and flew to Cybertron with the aim of destroying Primus once and for all. Transformed his prison into a moving planet that changes into the robot, something Primus proceeded to copy from him.

With Unicron's destruction inEnergon, the collapse of his body resulted in the creation of an enormousblack holewhich, if left unchecked, would consume and destroy everything. Created by Floro Dery, he was introduced in the 1986 animated film The Transformers: The Movie[4] and has since reappeared in Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, Transformers: Cybertron, Transformers: Prime, Transformers: The Last Knight and Atari's 2004 They held off Unicron long enough to escape back to their universe. The first of the Thirteen to appear in person was the Fallen. Eventually escaping Bumblebee, Unicron flies after Optimus and Unicron then opens the container, but upon finding it empty, he realizes too late that it is a trick, and his energy form is sucked into the container, freeing Megatron from his control and defeating Unicron once and for all, also destroying his legions of undead Predacons. At his full power however, Unicron's mere aura overpowered the Thirteen causing them to nearly lose all hope before they rallied. In the ensuing battle Unicron's body was successfully destroyed by super-powered Optimus Supreme with help of some of the other powered Autobots. Dissatisfied by his new body's performance in battle, he tracked down Predaking, whom Megatron claimed was a loyal warrior. It was Unicron's intent that these small robots would increase the ferocity of the Autobot/Decepticon war, allowing Unicron to feed off the hatred that the war fermented - but as a result of interference by human children, displaced in time from the 21st century, the Mini-Cons developed sentience, and fled Cybertron, crashing on Earth, where they lay dormant for a million years. In fact, one scene in the movie shows Jazz driving out of one of Unicron's eyes, just small enough to fit through them, though in another scene the Quintesson ship Hot Rod arrived is tiny compared with the eye. Although Unicron himself did not appear again, his origin in the animated series was later revealed. The awakening of Unicron from within the Earth sent ripples that echoed into the multiverse, drawing the attention ofLio Convoyin another dimension. Through the events of the story, Optimus Prime learns that the Matrix can destroy Unicron, and he andUltra Magnuslaunch an assault on the giant. Meanwhile, Primus merged with the Super Energon, creating a foundling sun which arrived at the site of the battle. According to past Transformers mythology, Unicron was set adrift in space, ultimately attracting planetary debris to eventually become planet Earth. Transformers: The Last Knight just launched a big trailer that showcases everything you'd expect from a Michael Bay movie (big explosions, fast action, flashy eye candy) - with a little bit of Transformers lore along with it.
